Intro

Barz Casino is one of many online casinos under the ever-growing White Hat Gaming umbrella. 

Launched in 2021, Barz is one of the newest additions to the network. Despite its young age, the site already offers the wide array of games that we expect from White Hat sites. 

Barz also offers a big welcome bonus and other promotions.

Let’s take a closer look at Barz Casino, breaking down everything from the mobile casino to available payment methods and more.

The welcome bonus at Barz Casino is eye-catching, to say the least. A 100% up to a maximum of £500 and 50 spins on Starburst on your first deposit is impressive enough, but that’s only the start. 

On your second deposit, you’ll receive a 25% bonus of up to £1,000 with another 50 extra spins. This time you can choose between Gonzo’s Quest, Starburst, and Twin Spin for your spins. 

The welcome package ends on your third deposit, where you’ll receive a 50% match up to £500 with another 25 bonus spins on eligible NetEnt games. 

The bonuses don’t stop there, though. Existing players can enjoy prize draws for cash prizes and holidays, slot tournaments, free spins bonuses, and an impressive loyalty programme.

Wagering Requirements

With a welcome bonus as large as Barz Casino’s, there’s going to be plenty of small print. 

The terms and conditions include a £20 minimum on all deposits and a 72-hour limit on bonus spins. You can also only bet £5 maximum with bonus funds on any game. 

The big caveat, however, is the wagering requirement. At 40x, this requirement is only a little above the average, but there’s a catch. The requirement isn’t only attached to the bonus, but also the initial deposit. This means if you wager the minimum of £20 for a £20 bonus on your first deposit, you’ll have to bet £40 x 40 (£1,600) in order to claim the bonus funds or any associated winnings as cash. Winnings from free spins also count as bonus funds and therefore have the same 40x wagering attached.  

This wagering requirement is steep and means the majority of players are unlikely to be able to withdraw any funds from the bonus or associated winnings.

Software

Barz Casino is part of the White Hat Gaming network, which means there is a huge array of games available. One downside is that the games selection is very similar to other White Hat casinos. However, with over 100 software developers providing the games, we find that easy to forgive. 

The big names are here, of course, including Evolution and Pragmatic Play providing the lion’s share of the live dealer games, and slots from Microgaming, NetEnt, Play’n GO, and many more. 

But it’s the rare developers  available in abundance that really help Barz Casino stand out. Indie favourites like ELK Studios, Relax Gaming, and NoLimit City all have games here, and that’s just the start. 

With Core Gaming, Crazy Tooth Studio, Jade Rabbit Studios, and Stormcraft Studios amongst the lesser-known names on the provider list, you’re likely to find a good number of games you haven’t played before. That is, of course, unless you’ve played at another White Hat casino.

Games

With well over 1,000 slots – a number that keeps climbing thanks to regular new releases – it can be hard to find the right title to play at Barz Casino. Not the worst problem to have, for sure, but we would like to see an improvement in the navigation. For example, UK casino players can’t currently search all progressive jackpot options. 

Looking past that mild inconvenience, however, there’s a lot to love here. From the favourites like Book of Dead (Play’n GO) and Starburst (NetEnt) to modern classics like Pear Fiction Gaming’s hugely entertaining Squealin’ Riches, there are video slots as far as the eye can see. 

We are keen on high volatility games at TopRatedCasinos, so we love to see NoLimit City options like Deadwood. However, if you like something calmer, Legend of the Sword by Snowborn Games and Unicorn Reels from Wazdan are just two of hundreds of available options. 

Despite our earlier criticism of the navigation, there are some helpful sub-categories, including the ability to search by provider, for Megaways slots, or browse the selection of Red Tiger Gaming Must Go daily jackpots. 

There are no titles exclusive to Barz Casino, as other White Hat sites have similar if not identical collections. But, there is enough variety here to make up for that.

Barz Casino’s live dealer section has no issue when it comes to quality. Evolution Gaming provides most of the games, ranging from blackjack and roulette to unique favourites from the developer including Crazy Time, Dream Catcher, and Lightning Dice.

The collection is only improved by the addition of the Pragmatic Play blackjack and roulette lobbies. 

All games are streamed from bespoke, beautiful-looking studios with skilled and approachable hosts and croupiers ensuring players feel truly immersed in the gaming experience. 

So, quality is covered, the issue we have is with quantity. Those familiar with Evolution Gaming will be aware that the provider has well over 100 excellent games in its portfolio. The fact that the total live dealer offering from Barz, combining Evolution and Pragmatic Play, numbers just over 30, is simply not up to the level we hope for from a top-flight online casino. 

We’d like to see more titles added in the future. For us, this would make a big difference to the games selection at Barz.

In an odd decision, there is no sub-category for blackjack on the Barz Casino games page. You can look for blackjack games in the search tab, but won’t find the full list. As a result, the easiest way to find RNG blackjack is to search by provider. This is fine if you know what you’re looking for, but tough if you’re just wanting to browse. 

What we can say for sure is that there are at least 10 RNG blackjack games, with some belters among them. Some of our personal favourites include Iron Dog’s 3D Blackjack, and Buster Blackjack and Lucky Ladies Blackjack from Felt. 

It’s worth taking the extra time to find the blackjack titles that are on offer, but Barz could make that easier to do.

The navigational issues that plague the blackjack collection also affect the Barz roulette portfolio. Again, there is no way to see a full list of RNG games, so you have to dig to find them. 

If you do make the effort, you’ll find good options from the likes of NetEnt and Iron Dog, as well as Golden Rock Studios’ 5x and 2x Roulette games. 

The collection is strong here, but again, we’d like the titles to be easier to find.

There are a fair few RNG and video poker games to be found at Barz Casino

These include 3 Hand Casino Hold’em from Play’n Go, Aces and Eights from Microgaming, and NetEnt’s Jacks or Better Double Up.

For us, the top of the pile comes from Shufflemaster, with Fortune Pai Gow Poker and Mississippi Stud Poker games that bring attractive designs to classic poker variants.  

As with other RNG table games, navigation issues let the selection down here.

Most popular banking options are available for players at Barz Casino. The only notable absence is a pay by phone bill method like Boku. 

Players can make their deposits via Mastercard and VISA debit cards, with prepaid Paysafecard vouchers, or using e-wallets like MuchBetter, Neteller, PayPal, and Skrill. Bank transfers can also be made via Trustly. 

Withdrawals are available using all the above methods apart from Paysafecard. If you’re making your first withdrawal, Barz Casino will request photos of documentation to verify your identity before a request will be processed. 

When it comes to processing, Barz Casino doesn’t state a time, but customer reviews suggest that a 72-hour delay isn’t uncommon. Withdrawals can be released in as little as 24 hours, but it’s worth anticipating a three-day wait to avoid disappointment. 

Most payment methods should make your funds available immediately upon release, but some banks may take a few days to process a debit card withdrawal.

Design & Usability

The design of Barz Casino is attractive. There is a modern and minimalist approach, with a predominantly white colour scheme accented by a purple logo depicting a classic fruit machine. This gives a clean feel to what is a very busy site. 

However, in terms of usability, there are some serious issues, especially in terms of navigation. 

With so many games on offer, effort needs to be made to stop the site from being messy and confusing. Unfortunately, those efforts do not appear to have been made, and it shows.

The lack of subcategories for RNG table games is bizarre, and there aren’t enough ways to break the slots up, either. Searching by provider is always helpful, and the ability to scan only Megaways slots is nice. However, we’d like to see more categories like classic games and progressive jackpots added. 

Having thousands of games available should be exciting, and to an extent, it is. However, the design of Barz Casino makes the sheer number of titles feel more like a hindrance at times.

Support Options

Players can send an email to Barz Casino at any time, and the site also has a fairly extensive FAQ section to browse. 

Live chat is available, but it isn’t 24/7. This means if you’re playing at night and have an issue, you will have to wait until the next day to get a response via live chat.

Barz Casino doesn’t currently offer an app for casino players. However, if you want to play via your smartphone or tablet you can access the casino through your mobile device’s web browser. 

Everything is pretty much the same here as it is on the desktop site. Games, promotions, and customer service options match up, as does the design. 

Things have been tweaked a little to suit smaller screens, and it’s touchscreen compatible, but that’s about all there is that’s different.

App Review

At the time of writing, Barz Casino doesn’t offer a native casino app for any device.

Loyalty and VIP Rewards

Barz Casino has a simple loyalty programme. There are no levels to climb, you simply earn points that you can exchange for bonus funds. 

On your first deposit, you will receive 500 points, known as Barz. From there, all bets – whether they win or lose – will contribute towards the build-up of points. For every £10 you wager, you will get points, but how many depends on the game. Slots and scratchcards give two points per £10 wagered and video poker will give one, but the same bet on roulette will give just a quarter of a point. 

Once you’ve collected at least 1,000 Barz, you can switch them out for bonus funds. 1,000 points equal a £5 bonus, which is subject to a 40x wagering requirement.
